When getting to a clinic is difficult, our physiotherapist can come to you. Home physiotherapy at Ashford Medical Centre brings one-to-one assessment, treatment and a practical exercise plan into your own home, where it fits your daily routine and your real surroundings.
It is especially helpful for older adults, people recovering after a hospital stay, surgery or a fall, and anyone whose pain or mobility makes travelling hard.

- After surgery, such as a knee or hip replacement or a fracture, when moving around is still difficult.
- People with long-term conditions that affect movement and balance, who benefit from regular exercise at home.
- Anyone in too much pain to travel, for example with a bad back flare-up.

How it works
- Tell us about the patient. Message us on WhatsApp or call. We will ask a few questions about their condition, mobility and goals, and arrange a suitable time.
- First home visit. Our physiotherapist assesses movement, strength, balance and pain, looks at how the person manages around the home, and starts treatment.
- A clear plan. You receive a simple exercise programme and practical advice, and we agree goals and how often to visit.
- Follow-up visits. We progress the exercises, track improvement and keep the family updated. If anything needs a doctor’s attention, our doctor is on hand.
